Hi helli, I can see your not pressuring him and are just concerned as to how well he will do, as you say he can go into a more practical career, ie, Mecahnic, plumber, bricklayer, plasterer, the choice is endless, I was pushed into the Academic stream,not because I was that way inclined but it split me up from my friends, so it made me a lot worse in fact, it will work out in the end helli, you are being very sensible and caring, have a chat with the teachers, but don't hold your breath witing for a solution, your son is caring and kind,polite etc, then to me youv'e done one hell of a good job.
Yep still packing in the electrics at the end of the month, mainly again because it has changed, so much paperwork, and I struggle with it, so I am not going to do it, cowards way out I suppose, but it makes my head spin,. something will turn up, but I am going to enjoy a break first with no pressure, good to see your name on here again, take care helli.
